Ambuja Neotia plans 400-bed hospital at Rajarhat

KOLKATA: City-based Ambuja Neotia group is planning to construct a super-speciality 400-bed hospital for which it has already acquired land near Rajarhat near the metropolis, a top official of the entity said.

"Our Siliguri hospital has started just two months back. Let operations at the hospital stabilise after which another big hospital would be constructed near Rajarhat", Chairman of Ambuja Neotia group Harsh Neotia told PTI.

Neotia said land has already been acquired for the project. "It will be a super-speciality 400-bed hospital", he said.

Before Siliguri, the group had started a women and child care hospital in Kolkata.

Meanwhile, the name of the group has been changed from Ambuja Realty to Ambuja Neotia.

"The change in the name is to indicate that the group does not have interest in real estate alone", Neotia said.

Starting from real estate, the Rs 1000-crore group has three new verticals at present -- healthcare, hospitality and education.

Neotia said in the real estate vertical, the group would build office buildings, malls and residences in Raipur, Patna, Haldia, Siliguri and Kolkata.

In the hospitality sector, the group has already operationalised the five-star luxury Swissotel at Rajarhat close to the international airport.
